From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Württemberg Cup (German:
Württembergischer Pokal or WFV-Pokal) is one of
the 21 regional cup competitions of German football.
The winner of the competition gains entry to the first round of the
German
Cup.

Initially, the final was held at a neutral ground but from 1967
onwards, one of the two finalists received home advantage.
Occasionlly, it would however still be held at a neutral venue when
the club with the home advantage didn't have a suitable stadium.
After 1981, the competitions final returned to a neutral venue.

From 1974 onwards, the winner of the WFV Cup qualified for the
first round of the German Cup. At times, the WFV was permitted to
send both, winner and finalist to the first round of the German
Cup, currently (2008-09), it is only the winner as Württemberg is
not one of the three largest federations, which are permitted to
send two clubs.[1]

Possibly the most remarkable WFV-Cup winner in terms of German
Cup appereance was the SC Geislingen in 1984-85. The club
drew Hamburger SV
for the first round and beat the Bundesliga club 2-0, then
defeated Kickers Offenbach 4-2 to go out in
the third round 0-2 to the later winners Bayer
Uerdingen.[2][3]

Modus

All clubs from Württemberg playing from the 3rd Liga to the four
Landesligas (VII) gain direct entry to the first round. To
make up the set number of 128 clubs for the first round, the best
teams from the Bezirkspokale, which teams below tier seven
play in, are also admitted.[4]
